I don't know about you, but I think geography is kinda' hard to teach. Maybe it's because I don't naturally think of pictures; I cannot remember a map no matter how hard I study it. I think in words, so I could memorize some facts about a place but have no idea where that stuff is.

So I invited Maggie Hogan to the show to see if she could help. And she did. Maggie Hogan is an author, homeschooling veteran, world traveler, and founder of Bright Ideas Press. For decades, she has encouraged families with her practical approach to geography, history, science, literature, family, and other topics.

In this episode, Maggie helps us out a lot with some great tips:
